Elasticsearch-Kibana Fuel Plugin Installation using the RPM file of the Fuel Plugins Catalog¶

To install the Elasticsearch-Kibana Fuel Plugin using the RPM file of the Fuel Plugins Catalog, you need to follow these steps:

Download the RPM file from the Fuel Plugins Catalog.

Copy the RPM file to the Fuel Master node:

[root@home ~]# scp elasticsearch_kibana-0.9-0.9.0-0.noarch.rpm \
root@<Fuel Master node IP address>:

Install the plugin using the Fuel CLI:

[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --install elasticsearch_kibana-0.9-0.9.0-0.noarch.rpm

Verify that the plugin is installed correctly:

[root@fuel ~]# fuel plugins --list
id | name                 | version | package_version
---|----------------------|---------|----------------
1  | elasticsearch_kibana | 0.9.0   | 4.0.0

Elasticsearch-Kibana Fuel Plugin installation from source¶

Alternatively, you may want to build the RPM file of the plugin from source if, for example, you want to test the latest features, modify some built-in configuration or implement your own customization. But note that running a Fuel plugin that you have built yourself is at your own risk.

To install Elasticsearch-Kibana Plugin from source, you first need to prepare an environment to build the RPM file. The recommended approach is to build the RPM file directly onto the Fuel Master node so that you won’t have to copy that file later on.

Prepare an environment for building the plugin on the Fuel Master Node

Install the standard Linux development tools:

[root@home ~] yum install createrepo rpm rpm-build dpkg-devel

Install the Fuel Plugin Builder. To do that, you should first get pip:
```
[root@home ~] easy_install pip
```
Then install the Fuel Plugin Builder (the fpb command line) with pip:
```
[root@home ~] pip install fuel-plugin-builder
```

Note: You may also need to build the Fuel Plugin Builder if the package version of the plugin is higher than the package version supported by the Fuel Plugin Builder you get from pypi. In this case, please refer to the section “Preparing an environment for plugin development” of the Fuel Plugins wiki, if you need further instructions about how to build the Fuel Plugin Builder.

Clone the plugin git repository:

[root@home ~] git clone \
  https://github.com/openstack/fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana.git

Check that the plugin is valid:

[root@home ~] fpb --check ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana

And finally, build the plugin:

[root@home ~] fpb --build ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana

Now that you have created the RPM file, you can install the plugin using the fuel plugins –install command:
```
[root@fuel ~] fuel plugins --install \
  ./fuel-plugin-elasticsearch-kibana/*.noarch.rpm
```
